On this episode of Make It Kustom, I cover hammer and dolly techniques used for dent repair. Our replacement fender for the G10 van was crushed in a yard work accident and needed lots of work to get it back in good health.

  • Can't believe I just watched 47 minutes of a guy hitting a fender with a hammer, but man am I glad I did. Those tips and tricks are so valuable. Thanks again.
  • Okay, I’m impressed. That doesn’t happen too often on here. The way you explain without rambling on and then into talking about your mothers uncle twice removed that nobody wants to hear about is not notch. You sir have earned another sub…
  • I really love it when you show how to fix metal damage with tools an average Joe/Jane can obtain.
  • this is the actual show I always wanted to see on discovery as a kid! I used to watch all this dramatic bullshit for maybe if you were lucky 1 minute of info, whereas this is gold from pillar to post...so good man! much thanks to you and the crew

    I really, really love the background music used here. No rush, just calmly explaining the process Such a nice vibe!

    You Sir are a master teacher. I`ve had a hammer & dolly set 35 years ago. Couldn`t get anything done with it and scrapped it. Your videos made me order a second set and gave me hope. Thank you!

    Literally just bought my first hammer and dolly set, then your notification came up, I'm subscribed.

    If sharing is caring, you win the internet for how much amazing knowledge you share. 🤜🏼🤛🏼😎🇦🇺🍀🍀🍀
  • Great video with no family drama and nobody crying and stomping out of the shop. The way you describe the process is very helpful. Thank you for your time.
  • @rdspeedfab
    Multiple camera angles, new cameras, good editing… love it you guys. Keep it up!
  • Love how you have the tools to do it faster but teach how to do it with hand tools
  • Lost my Dad a few years ago. He was an old school metal finish lead repair body man. Watching your videos reminds me of home.
  • One of my favorite videos. Really liked the format (borderline ASMR, background music) and the simplicity of the tools used. Detailed explanations as usual. Love it ! This lifeless after market fender now has a story stamped into it. Thank you for sharing this with us.
  • Not only are you fixing stuff, you are explaining how to do it, and even going into the details of all the little tricks and indicators. Your skills are amazing - very impressive and a joy to watch and learn.

    We have all seen the Dog whisperer. Now We see The metal Whisperer. Always great content and never ceases to amaze! I love it!

    Oh Karl. I've been there. I'll bet your were just furious with yourself for damaging a NEW and irreplaceable part like that fender. But talk about making lemonade out of lemons! That was one of your best videos yet! You are a REALLY good instructor and I learned SO much. Thank you for showing us how to fix something like that. You are doing GREAT work sharing your knowledge. And please do the video you alluded to on how to make that fixed dolly stand and one's own dollies!
  • Just want to tell you Karl & Christina something that I noticed is that your channel’s quality improves continuously which keeps me watching. Thanks you guys cause obviously you read and listen to your subscribers and you, caring , really stands out.

    I just repaired my neighbours Sprinter van... he took it to three bodyshops and they all put down for new wing, bumper and headlamp. Cheapest quote was £3'500. I repaired everything and charged him £800 and it all came out perfect. I'm an old school panebeater. nobody is properly trained these days and its always replace instead of repair.. Great video Karl, you show perfectly what can be done... I think things are going to change, goodbye throwaway society.. I will update you soon on my 41 Cadillac Coupe. best wishes from the UK
  • You videos have been so beneficial in aiding me on my 55 Chevy build. My co worker is highly skilled like yourself, and has been helping learn to hammer and dolly. But having your videos to fall back on and having real time examples are invaluable. Thanks Carl!
  • @raymondw7875
    Real world stuff right there. It's not all flashy new parts that cost more than most people can afford. I truly appreciate how down to Earth you keep things.
